    The mythical CUCV 4L80E swap

    No problem Ive done a lot of searching and digging to the point my head is spinning. I originally was just going to size up a freeze plug to install for under a $1 and like you I cant imagine there being much pressure on the lube side back there so id think a freeze plug would be just fine.

    Hello all! New guy from Northeast MO

    ​I found one and got it bought last night. It was owned by the Perry Mo. Volunteer fire department. Truck is pretty slick, rust free. The truck does have some dents but no major creases. I think most dents can be for the most part popped out. Truck came from Fort Leonard Wood about 4 years ago...
